Sewing Up a Storm

Some plain linen to use as pillow backing that will go with my most favourite fabric.

I got the fabric as a sample thanks to my wonderful friend Karla from Kerrisdale Design. I was hoping to purchase some chiang mai dragon by Schumacher but at $250/yard I couldn't justify it. When Karla took me and Nancy from Marcus Design to a few fabric warehouses with a while back, Karla managed to get the salespeople to give me 2 samples, just enough to make a 2 throw pillows.

I do need to be creative because they did this:

No problemo, I can't work with that.

Next, I am sewing a roman blind for my son's room with this fabric:

I just can't get enough of this black and white fabric.

And finally I am re-vamping these store bought drape panels for my oldest daughter's room which is almost done:

Barbara, I already have that same b/w striped fabric (I am thinking a wingback chair makeover but I am not sure the fabric is hardy enough even with muslin...). But yesterday I took my 3 year old Prince to Ikea again and what did I get? Some must have Swedish food items, a sisal rug and some white window panels!!!!

I will now be following you more closely because clearly we speak the same design language!

You've got some great fabrics there. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with the panels for your daughter. I have four plain white Pottery Barn Panels that I'm looking to do something to, maybe you'll provide a little inspiration.
